MUSIC LOGGER PLUS 2.4 IS NOW SUPERSCEDED BY IT'S "SCRIPT" EQUIVALENT FOR MSGPLUS! LIVE 4.0

It's finally done, and now it's a Plus! plug-in! Music Logger Plus enables you to log the songs that your MSN contacts play in MSN Messenger.

Use the /xmlp command once the plug-in is installed to open the main window.

Make sure after install you restart MSN Messenger for the Plug-in to be loaded.

Version 2.2 and above feature full Spanish and Dutch Translation (Select preferred language in Configuration screen)



Version 2.3+ now features a "To HTML" option where you can export a contacts music history to a html file.

Thanks:
Stigmata: for telling me how to detect UBX messages
Patches: who designed the logo
Patchou: for Plus!
My MSN Contacts: for testing and putting up with constant messages from me pestering them!

If you have any problems / questions / suggestions then please post them in here, and could a mod close the old topic.

Kind regards,

Thanks for the opportunity,

Edit- Instead of restarting Messenger try using the Plugin Reloader by TheBlasphemer.

EDIT: Versions 2.0 and above now come with a proper installer package and so it should not be necessary to manually install.

================
Original Post:

To manually install:

Copy "Music Logger Plus.dll" into:
c:\Program Files\MessengerPlus! 3\Plugins\
(or equivalent directory)

Open up a command shell, goto the directory:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\
(or equivalent)

type:

RegAsm.exe /codebase "c:\Program Files\MessengerPlus! 3\Plugins\Music Logger Plus.dll"

You should get a confirmation message:
Microsoft ® .NET Framework Assembly Registration Utility 1.1.4322.573
Copyright © Microsoft Corporation 1998-2002. All rights reserved.

Types registered successfully

Then exit MSN Messenger, restart. Plugin should have been manually installed now.

I'm looking into an installer program.

I have 2 suggestions for this plugin:

1) Allow you to right-click on the list and copy what your contact is listening to/has listened to and paste it.

2) To display the time which your contact has listened to a certain song.

Let me know what you think and if this is possible...

It looks like a really cool program, the user interface is really nice looking, seems to work well too .

I love the idea of this plug-in so well done for pulling it off.

I have one suggestion though.

Would it be possible to not have to type the command into a chat window but to also have an option to open the window from the plug-in menu itself.

Hmm.. I've been using it for 2 days now and I've noticed that's it's not logging every single song that's played by myself or by my contacts, for example, I'll see a person listening to a song and then when I check the list of songs played by them it doesn't appear.. Any reason why?

If I don't say myself, the UI does looks snazzy. Pretty simple to pull off the whole look of the UI, didn't take a long amount of time, but in my opinion looks professional and clean.

Not blowing one's own trumpet or anything!

Good job

I don't even own a trumpet.
